Full costs (direct and indirect) must be covered by the Sponsor Marci,

Dr. Parsimonious at Techinetic International told me that her company won't pay more than 20% overhead on the proposed research project. Please prepare a budget with 20% indirect costs and send it to OIP-ISR with our proposal packet. Thank you.

On-Campus or Off-Campus Use the rate for the location where the majority of the work is performed Marci,

A portion the proposed Agronomics project will be done in my lab and a portion of it will be done at an off-campus facility in Santa Monica. I'm not sure if this is on-campus or off-campus research project. Can you help? Thank you.

With regard to the Drugus Pharmaceuticals project don't worry about including any salary for me in the budget. We need to get the costs down to where they will be able to afford it and I can just donate my time supervising the graduate students on this project. It won't require too much of my efforts anyway. Thank you.

Proposal for Industry Sponsored Research Award Yes! All proposals for funding processed by OIP-ISR need to be reviewed & approved by OIP-ISR and should be submitted with an OIP-ISR cover letter. Marci,

I need to submit a proposal to Crick Pharmaceuticals for the gene sequencing project that I'm hoping to work on with Dr. Crick. For now, the sponsor hasn't agreed to give us any money, so I don't think we need to worry about submitting the usual proposal documents to OIP-ISR yet, do we?

Janet Rodriguez at Intelligent Design Solutions just called and they are interested in working together on an SBIR proposal to NSF. Will you please find out what we need to do to get started? Thank you.

I know that we will eventually need to get ARC approval for the project with the Pantana mouse model, but I won't be able to specify exactly what tests we'll be running on the mice until I finish the first two stages of the project. How am I supposed to get ARC approval if I can't describe the research project?

Best,

Dr. BruinPrincipal InvestigatorUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095T: (310) 555-5202F: (310) 555-8862email: drbruin@research.ucla.edu It may be possible to begin working on certain aspects of the project, but no expenses relating to animal research may be billed until ARC approval is on file. What if the PI has a project that will be working with animals at some point in the future, but the first part of the project does not involve working with animals? New Research Involving Existing UCLA Intellectual Property oip-isr will help identify, address and manage potential intellectual property conflicts Marci,

The heat transfer unit that Icarus Automotive wants me to develop will be based on technology that Dr. Daedalus and I invented here at UCLA last year. We are working with the OIP licensing group on the patent and licensing matters, but I'm not sure how that relates to the research that Icaus will be funding. Please check it out. Thank you.

It looks like we won't end up spending the full amount that we budget for that wind pattern research project we did for Weather.com. Can I use the remaining funds to cover our grad student's salary for next semester? Thank you.

Policy 900 Status an exception letter, approved by the Dean, Vice Provost, or other high level campus official Marci,

I would like to be the PI on a proposal to Company X but I do not have Policy 900 status. Please let me know what I need to be able to serve as the PI.

I was just talking to John at MediCorp and they are interested in sponsoring a new research project in my lab. However, I own stock in MediCorp and I am currently serving on the board of directors for the company. Is it still possible for me to accept research funding from MediCorp? Thank you.
